The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1887-11-17

A correspondent in the Washington
Post, writing from Tuscon, Ariz.. says
that some very important discoveries con-
corning prehistoric races have been made
during the past year by Professor Frank
Cushman, who has charge of an explor-
ing expedition in the Salt River valley in
Southern Arizona. The remains of an an
cient city were found. Investigation
showed that the city extended out in all
directions from palace or temple. The
foundations of many of the houses had
been exposed, many of them consisting of
but single room, but now and then
there would be one of larger and more
ample proportions, and in most of these
larger ones there had been found burial
vaults and skeletons. Two thousand of
these skeletons had been exhumed. There
was general burial ground, where the
dead seem TO have been thrown in pro-
miscuously.
Large quantities of pottery were found
in the tombs and dwellings,. The finer
pieces were Of many different shades, but
were all of light color, with black mark
ings and figures, reminding one greatly
Of ancient Egyptian pottery. The inte-
rior specimens look much like that made
by the Arizona Indians of to-day. No
iron. copper or metal instruments of any
kind have been found but great quanti-
ties of stone axes, stone pcstles and NOR
tars, bone needles and knives and other
such materials - belong to the stone age.
But the skill with which these articles

were made was far superior to that shown
by the Indians fourd in America by the
whites.
Mr.. Cushman had found good deal OF
wheat and barley and other grain, all OF
1t, of course, in q charred and blackened
condition, and he had also traced several
canals and had fonnd the ruins of q large
reservoir, so that he had no doubt that
extensive irrigation had been carried on
and that all the valley had been under
cultivation. He thinks there must have
been a population of at least 25, 900 in the
ruined city he was exploring, and that
most of the inhabitants lived by cultiva-
ting the soil of the surrounding country.
Mr.. Cushman thinks that these ancient
dwellers suffered from great calamity,
like tie inhabitants Of Herculaneum and
Pompeii- 1t was probably an earthquake,
as skeletons have been found under the
walls of houses, lying as if the walls had
sndd, ly fallen upon the persons and
crush i them to death. They were no
doubt a religious people and strongly
super titious, so that they saw in the cal
smity that befell them . warning to seek
some other abode. They probably
move south, and it may have been their
cesce lants that the Spauiards found in

intelli 'ence and general advancement to
the a tees.

ments nave been gathered for the Smith

An UNSATISFACrORY PHYgl.
CHAN.

Sevsral years ago a young doctor
namet Mabee came ont from the east and
settled in a small Dakota town to practice
bis profession. He had diploma from
one of the best medical schools, printed
heavy block tin tube. He got but little
to do; most of the practice was monopo-
lized by man named Daggett who had
been located at the place some time.
Daggett did not follow any regularly re-
cognized school of medicine, but pinned
his faith to poultice made on the "hide
side of the skin Of p black cat killed in
the dark of the MOON" Mabee was at
last himself taken sick. He got quite low
and finally called in DR.. Daggett. One
day after he had recovered he was waited
on by committee of the citizens headed
by the mayor, who broke the ice by re-
marking:
"Doc, we'uns have called on q little
pint which we reckon will be mid'lin in
terestin' to you."
GAIL right-go ahead" replied the
young physician.
"We noticed that when you got pretty
sick you called in DR.. Daggett to FIX you
up"
"Why, yes, he came to see me once or
twice."
"Y-a-e-s, we seen he did! Little bit
skeered of your own ed'cines, we low ?"
"No, sir, but was too sick to do any
thing for myself That's all professional" :"
"It may be profess'nal, but it won't
wash in these diggins, young man! Here
you been tellin' all the time that old Doc
Daggett want no good, an pokin' fun
at his black catskin po'ltices, an sayin'
